ABSTRACT

This study investigated the personality characteristics of 342 students who majored in special education. Those 342 participants completed the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) from 1991 to 2004. First, the result indicated that male participants had a higher mean t-score in 10 sub-tests than female participants. In particular, male participants had significantly higher t-scores in Hysteria scales than female participants. Second, the result showed that there was an annually significant difference of t-scores in Psychasthenia and Schizophrenia. t-scores increased in Hypochondriasis, Depression, and Hysteria scales, and decreased in Paranoia, Psychasthenia, Schizophrenia, and Hypomania scales. Third, 232 participants (67.8% of 342 participants) had 70 or above in t-scores. Among those 232 participants, 49 participants (68% of 232 participants who had 70 or above in T-scores) had the highest mean t-score in 1998. The high mean t-scores in sub-tests were showed in Psychopathic Deviation, followed by in Psychasthenia and in Schizophrenia.攀논문 접수: 2006. 5. 26 심사 시작: 2006. 5. 27 게재 확정: 2006. 6. 25攀攀
